My issue here is these guys are "consistently inconsistent" July this year, Ambode told us it will be completed in 12 months.Now this is November, he's telling us it'll be completed by 2016.I feel they should just come out clear instead of beating around the bush.I don't feel this is realistic considering the fact that before I left, I didn't really see much going on other than the 8 lane road from mile 2 to Ijanikin.I could be wrong

The rail tracks have been laid from Agboju to Iganmu. Concrete pillars to extend the rail tracks across the canal linking Iganmu and Lagos Island are currently being installed.

My grouse with them is that the pace of work is just too bloody slow!!

Since rail tracks have been laid from Iganmu to Agboju, can't they commence train operations on that axis, pending when the other leg would be completed? It would reduce the horrible traffic on that axis.

I have spent 3-4 hours in traffic (one-way) on that road before. Believe me, it is no joke!

LAGOS RAIL MASS TRANSIT

Introduction:
The Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) network is a major component of the Strategic Transport Master Plan (STMP) which has been developed to guide as a compass for the development of public transport infrastructures in the State. The STMP is a 30 year plan put together under series of intensive researches, studies and analyses of future transportation demands and needs of Lagos State as Nigeria's commercial and economic hub and one of the world's fastest growing mega cities.

COMPONENT OF LURN
The Lagos Urban Rail Network (LURN) is a network of urban rail-based systems covering seven major corridors of high commuter traffic demand within and beyond the metropolitan Lagos extending to border areas with States like Ogun and Oyo.

The Urban Rail Network consists of seven (7) railway lines planned along priority and high commuter demand corridors within the Lagos metropolis and farther. The 7 lines link the major population and activity centres in the state, as well as taking advantage, where possible, of existing transport corridors.

The network is fully integrated with planned and existing water transport and BRT routes. These lines are:
Blue Line - Okokomaiko to Marina
Red Line - Agbado to Marina via Iddo and Muritala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA)

The Blue and Red Lines are priority routes, which are already at advanced stages for immediate development.

Other routes for development are:
Green Line -Marina to Lekki (Airport)
Yellow Line -Otta to Iddo
Purple Line Redeem to Ojo
Orange Line- Redeem to Marina
Brown Line- Mile 12 to Marina

The North-South corridor between Agbado and Iddo along the Nigerian Railway corridor; the Eastern corridor to serve the emerging development along the Lekki to Epe axis; and the western corridor along the Mile2 - Okokomaiko axis.
Others are: Marina to Lekki axis, Redeem to Ojo, Otta to Iddo, Redeem to Marina and Mile 12 to Marina route. The seven corridors will be connected by a central ring road between Victoria Island and Lagos Island.

Blue Line Rail Project: The Blue Line is a 27 km rail road with thirteen stations from Okokomaiko to Marina. The Blue Line is undergoing construction right in the middle of Lagos-Badagry Expressway which government is currently expanding and redeveloping into a ten-lane international gateway. Apart from rail, the infrastructure design also includes provision for BRT and multimode integration with Non-Motorized Transport [NMT] such as pedestrian walkways and overhead bridges for safe access by passengers to rail and bus stations.

Work commenced in August 2009 for construction of the Blue Line rail infrastructure, awarded to China Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC) as a design and build contract. CCECC prepared the detailed plan, design and construction works for the rail infrastructure. These works includes stations, roadbed, bridges, permanent way (P-way) tracks works, pedestrian ways and other associated fixed infrastructure.

All survey work, a proportion of the detailed design work and mobilisation of contractor was completed between August 2009 and August 2010. The fixed infrastructure is to be implemented in phases and actual construction work commenced with a ground breaking ceremony attended by His Excellency, Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola on 26th July 2010. Construction works are ongoing for the first phase section between National Theatre and Mile 2. The infrastructure for the first phase is expected to be completed within the first quarter of 2014 while operation would commence after the conclusion of negotiation with the concessionaire, which isexpected to provide the rolling stock, operate and manage the rail line

Proposed Trains: The types of trains proposed for the Blue Line Rail Project are Electric Multiple Units (EMUs). EMUs are emissions free and therefore do not pose problems of environmental pollution usually associated with conventional diesel locomotives. EMUs are proven to be more efficient and easier to maintain than diesel locomotives.

Initially, the Blue Line will carry 400,000 passengers daily with capacity increased to 700,000 passengers daily when the rail route becomes fully operational. To incorporate the use of EMUs, a depot including power generating plant has been proposed for construction at the final western most station, Okokomaiko. The depot will serve as train maintenance and repair yard, sidings, final train destination, office complex and power station.

The selected concessionaire will be responsible for providing rolling stock, operations and maintenance for a 25 year period. These include station operations, staffing, maintenance, ticketing, cleaning, information, services kiosk, centres and all other services needed to provide excellent train services for passengers.

Once the Blue Line becomes operational, rail public transport will be incorporated into the integrated ticketing and fare systems making travel between different modes a seamless operation. This seamless approach will also be applied to provision of information about other transport modes and time tables between different modes [BRT, LRT, Ferry, etc] at rail stations to enable precision journey planning.

Here is some info on the on-going state of works on the rail project that Lagos State govt is executing along Lagos-Badagry expressway and other areas;



Please note: Nothing has been done concerning the Red line, Green line and the other proposed rail lines (i.e. Purple line, Orange line etc). Only the Blue line from Lagos Island to Okokomaiko, shows some signs of construction activity. The completion date has already been shifted 4 times - thrice by the previous administration, and once by the Ambode-led govt.

May God save us all!

The blue line is from Okoko-Marina.I want to know if the 8 lane road from mile 2-badagry is part of the rail project or an entirely different project because this is what I found on their website and i didn't see anything like badagry

Blue Line - Okokomaiko to Marina
Red Line - Agbado to Marina via Iddo and Muritala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA)
Other routes for development are:
Green Line -Marina to Lekki (Airport)
Yellow Line -Otta to Iddo
Purple Line Redeem to Ojo
Orange Line- Redeem to Marina
Brown Line- Mile 12 to Marina

IyaIode:
The light rail project according to Fashola didn't get federal backing for the second phase of world bank loan. I will try to get the article and post it here

The Lagos State government might have settled for the purchase of 15-year-old subway cars from the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) to use on the city’s light rail mass transportation project now under construction.

Subway cars — equivalent of trains — are series of connected railroad cars used for intra city (urban) transportation, usually underground and operated by electricity.

Last week, key officials of the Lagos State government led by the governor, Babatunde Fashola, visited, Toronto, Canada to inspect facilities and numbers of used subway cars currently being operated by the city’s local transportation commission

The visit to Toronto, Canada’s most populous city, allows the governor to experience first hand, the operation of the city’s underground railway lines, which was first commissioned in 1954.

In December 2010, The City of Toronto unveiled its new fleet of subway cars that will replace the existing ones — being considered by Lagos.

An expert on the Lagos Light Rail project told nigeriansabroadlive.com that due to the high cost of buying new trains/subway cars, the state government has no choice but to settled for used ones.

So far, the Lagos light rail project has been marred by cost variation — between $1.12 to $30billion. This has prompted a governance monitoring group, Citizen Affairs, to called on the state government to publish details of projected overall cost of the ongoing project and regularly update stockholders on its development

According to information provided by the CPC, legal advisor to the Lagos State Government, on the project “The infrastructure will consist of 27km of double track, 13 passengers stations, and a 1250-metre 4-track bridge spanning the Osa lagoon and connection Lagos Island to the mainland. The Blue line will be the first of 7 light rail transit that will eventually comprise the Lagos urban rail network.”

Meanwhile Lagos governor, Fashola has reiterated his admission commitment to continue improving upon social and business infrastructure of the state in order to increase its rating as a strategic business friendly city.http://nigeriansabroadlive.com/lagos-settles-for-refurbished-subway-cars-for-its-light-rail-project/

IyaIode:
The light rail is a mass transit system being developed by
the state. It is still under construction after gulping billions
of naira.
Speaking during his traditional 100 days account rendering
exercise at the LTV ground in Ikeja, the governor urged
Lagosians to vote for the APC governorship candidate in the
state, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, saying he has all it takes to
continue all the projects he might not be able to complete.
Blaming lack of federal government support for the
uncompleted rail project, Fashola said all over the world,
when cities and states build municipal rails like what Lagos
is doing, their central governments support them morally
and financially.
He said the federal government has failed to support Lagos
and Rivers States which embarked on light rail projects
because they are states administered by the opposition
party.
“If Lagosians vote for General Muhammadu Buhari next
month, the new federal government will assist Ambode in
this regard,” he said. Fashola said no government can
complete all projects.
